Sol. "The employees presented their viewpoint on the pending issues, including the constitution of the pay revision commission, the first after the formation of the State, transfers & promotions and restoration of the old pension scheme in place of the contributory pension scheme before the committee": The part (A) of the sentence has the subject plural in it which will take plural verb with it .i.e.'presented'. In part (B) of the sentence, preposition 'including' will replace the 'included'. Part (C) of the sentence will take the correct noun .i.e. ‘formation'. Thus, only the part (D) is correct apart from being bold one.

"The employees also complained about the lackadaisical attitude of the officers concerned in the implementation of the employees’ health scheme": In part (A),'complaining' will be replaced by the verb 'complained'. Part (C) of the sentence has plural subject, hence the following verb will also be plural .i.e. ‘concern'. Part (D) will take correct preposition .i.e. ‘in' in place of 'to'. Thus, only the part (B) is correct apart from being bold one.
